Metal up your ass! Metallica has released new demo Lords Of Summer. After listening it couple of times, it feels like natural continuum from Death Magnetic.Some riffs are Ok I guess...I don't know. What you think?

I have always liked the brutality of original Sunlight Studio guitar sound.

More info from wikipedia: "Left Hand Path is the debut album from Entombed from 1990 that is known for defining the style of Swedish death metal by being the first recording to use the "buzzsaw" guitar tone. The tone was created by heavily detuned electric guitars (To B) used with a maxed out Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal Pedal and the DS-1 Distortion pedal into a Peavey amp. The originator of this guitar tone was Nihilist guitarist Leif "Leffe" Cuzner. The album was recorded in the legendary Sunlight studio in Stockholm, Sweden during December 1989."

This is the one of my favorite album of all times!!!Killer songs, A+ production and last but not least, absolutely breath taking vocal performance by Jeff Walker.

Info from wikipedia:"Heartwork is the fourth album by Britishextreme metal band Carcass, and has been described as the band's "breakthrough" and "mid-period masterpiece". It was released through Earache Records on 18 October 1993. The album was recorded at Parr Street Studios, Liverpool from 18 May – 21 June 1993. The sculpture depicted in the cover art, "Life Support 1993", was designed by H.R. Giger, and is an update of a sculpture he created in the late 1960s. The video for the song "Heartwork" features a real-life interpretation of the sculpture, including a human welded as a part of it."

"The Birthday Massacre (sometimes abbreviated as TBM) is a Canadian synthrock band, formed in 1999 in London, Ontario and currently based in Toronto, Ontario. When the band formed in 1999, they were known as Imagica. This name was inspired from the fantasy novelImajica (1991) by Clive Barker.In 2002 they changed their name to The Birthday Massacre in order to avoid confusion with another group." (Source: Wikipedia) The Birthday Massacre has releasedfive full lenght albums (links to YouTube):- Hide and Seek (2012)- Pins and Needles (2010)- Walking With Strangers (2007)- Violet (2005)- Nothing and Nowhere (2002)

My personal favorite is Violet album and it´s official music video song Blue.

"Woods of Ypres were a Canadian blackened doom metal band from Ontario. The band was founded in Windsor in 2002, initially consisting of three members: David Gold, Aaron Palmer and Brian McManus. This line-up frequently changed, and in all there were over 15 members in the band through its various incarnations. The one constant member was multi-instrumentalist and frontman David Gold.

The band ended after David Gold's death in December 2011, just before releasing their album Woods 5: Grey Skies & Electric Light, which won the 2013 Juno Award for Metal/Hard Music Album of the Year." (Source: Wikipedia)

Posted by Vaçuous.The day finally came. After long wait and search. Here it is: Woods Of Desolation. The most atmospheric and melancholic melodies what i have ever heard so far. You may still find a glimpse of hope among all the depression. I truly recommend this for all true fans of epic sadness.

The album was released after the band split up in '89.Its members joined in other major bands like Morbid Angel and Napalm Death.This was also one of the first records by Scott Burns.The album sound later became known as the "death metal production"

I can not even describe how brutal this is. Brutal AND melodic - in perfect savage harmony. Just insane.

I love everything in this album, the guitar tone, the bass (especially the bass line in the first song) and oh my fucking god the sound of Flo Mouniers drums ! (I'm drummer so I cannot hear anything else than drums).

The original album cover art is eye-catching, kinda like Sepultura and Obituary.
